Headed to the Central U.P. with Bob Gilreath and his wife Liz, to check out the O-Kun-De-Kun Falls over in Ontonagon County. They first hiked in to the upper falls and took the boardwalk over the swampy areas to get there. Then the next trek was to the lower falls, where Bob spotted a twisted set of trees along the way, that were quite unique.

The last three photos Bob shares here today are of the Baltimore River and the bridge that crosses over it. The O-Kun-De-Kun Falls is on the Baltimore. It sure is a neat bridge over the river. I wouldn't mind checking this place out and crossing that bridge, too. Can you say, "Road Trip?"

Awesome pics...year five looks like the same spot!!!

Mary says: Good spotting Donna! It absolutely is the same spot. Here's a link to check out the page that day and there are instructions and a map on how to get there, too: From the Archives

Great pictures! I just sent a link to this page to
a co-worker who wants to head to the Porkies this
summer. She'll be excited to see it!! Thanks for
sharing this. We haven't been there either and will
have to put it on our list.

Love it...next best thing to being there! Thanks for the hike.

North country trail association page to sign up, it

The second photo reminds me of the old Drifters song "Under the Boardwalk", although one likely won't find a sandy beach under that boardwalk anytime soon. Dr. Nat and I will be in the UP (and LP) this summer to continue a project we're doing so we're already looking forward to that, although we have another trip coming in a couple weeks; our 15th wedding anniversary in Hawaii....


By Alex "UP-Goldwinger" (Alex) on Friday, May 13, 2016 - 10:27 am:

Congrats, Dr. Nat and Capt.! And don't forget the crystal.

Great pics! We have so many interesting places to
enjoy nature here in the U.P. of Michigan.

We've never been there either. Will add it to this summer's bucket
list.

Happy forthcoming 15th anniversary to Dr. Nat and Capt. Paul.
Come to think of it, never been to Hawaii either.


By Donna (Donna) on Friday, May 13, 2016 - 08:09 pm:

How cool is that!!! Is there a link to the
archives? I miss the messages..I'd love to see
some of them...esp on the pic of Pud the other
day! :)


By Deb S. (Usedtobeayooper) on Friday, May 13, 2016 - 08:11 pm:

Happy Anniversary ahead of time Paul and Nat!! Hope
you have a fabulous time in Hawaii. Is there room
in your luggage for me ?????


By Capt. Paul (Eclogite) on Friday, May 13, 2016 - 08:15 pm:

Well, to clear things up, our actual anniversary is tomorrow (May 14), but with work schedules, we had to wait until over Memorial Day week to go. Still, we are both really really looking forward to it.
